Wowwwww that is noxious. Maybe I'll check it out in 5 years, but for now this is a hard pass.

I was so hyped for this game too. The original had something special if a little underdeveloped. I was excited to see if they could make it bloom.

Guess not anyway

"Pay us more money to spend less time in the game we made" Yeah I think I'll just pass on the whole game actually
